Does anyone know of a place that sells beeswax around Knoxville?

[East_TN_Patriot]

I'm looking for a 1 pound block of beeswax. I can find it online for about $7.00 a block, but find that the shipping costs as much as the wax. Does anyone know of a place that sells it around Knoxville for a reasonable price?

Hobby Lobby sells beeswax for candle making, but it's $14.99 on their website for 1 pound block, so it would probably be a similar price in the store.

Sounds like something Mast General Store would have, but don't quote me.

I think we have some here at the store but I would have to check.

I get mine at hobby lobby. Cumberland General Store used to sell it too, but not sure if they do anymore.

This last block I bought at Hobby Lobby was $14.99

Would paraffin work rather than beeswax for your project?

I know beeswax has properties that paraffin doesn't.

I believe Tandy Leather sells it. I'd call before I drove very far to be sure, however.

Go to the nearest hardware store and buy a toilet rin seal. Should be cheap.

Just wondering, what is everyone doing with Bee's wax?

[DaveS]

I use mine for hand dipped colonial candles, gunstock polish, barrel grease, patch lube, waxing thread when sewing leather and buckskin....the list goes on and on!

What? 4 1/2 days on this thread and no none has replied "That is none of your beeswax."? I am disappointed.

I use it for my beard, but I'm out at the moment. It keeps it from getting wild and crazy looking, though I've used different things. Now that I know that hobby lobby has it, I'll be getting some more.
